The oceans seem vast and endless. But for some time now we have known that their productivity is limited. The Netflix documentary Seaspiracy told us that a lot is going wrong in our oceans. Seaspiracy even says we shouldn’t eat any more fish at all. This episode’s guest is Iain Suthers, an expert on fish populations and fisheries in Australian waters. He will help us shed some light on the stories behind Seaspiracy and the fisheries situation in Australia.
